Guilford Street, Bloomsbury, London, WC1N

A beautifully refurbished one-bedroom apartment with a private entrance and south-facing garden, ideally positioned in Bloomsbury, WC1N. Offered with no onward chain and a newly granted lease.

Occupying the lower-ground floor of an attractive Grade II-listed period conversion, this impressive home enjoys a sought-after Bloomsbury setting and the unusual advantages of its own private entrance and secluded outside space. The interior has been finished to an excellent standard, blending the character of the original building with stylish contemporary touches. With a new lease and chain-free sale, the property represents an appealing opportunity in one of central London’s most desirable locations.

Internally, the accommodation has been carefully planned to maximise both space and practicality. The well-proportioned double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and connects directly to a smartly appointed ensuite shower room. Close to the entrance, the hallway provides a dedicated cupboard for coats and footwear, while an additional vestibule offers further built-in storage for household items. A separate guest WC is also conveniently located off the hall.

The spacious open-plan kitchen and reception area combines 600 x 300mm porcelain tiles within the kitchen zone with warm timber flooring and a calm, neutral decorative palette. Farmhouse-inspired, soft-close kitchen units are paired with marble-effect quartz work surfaces, while integrated Bosch appliances, including an electric hob, complete the contemporary specification.

Additional practical space is provided by the vestibule adjoining the hallway, where fitted cupboards lead through to a utility area. Beyond this lies a useful vaulted storage room with restricted head height. To the rear, the standout feature is a private south-facing courtyard garden, a particularly valuable and uncommon amenity for a home in the heart of central London.

Original details have been sympathetically retained, including traditional wrought-iron frontage railings and timber-framed sash windows, reflecting the building’s period heritage. These character features are complemented by modern additions such as electric storage heating, heated towel rails, statement lighting and matt-black power sockets equipped with USB and USB-C charging connections.

Superbly placed for Russell Square, Holborn and Chancery Lane Underground stations, the property is also within easy reach of an excellent selection of cafés, shops, educational establishments and green spaces. Combining an enviable central location, high-quality finishes and private outdoor space, a brand new lease, no Ground Rent and low annual charges, this distinctive home is well suited to professionals, first-time purchasers looking for a sophisticated London base and short-let investors seeking lucrative returns.
